Guest Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hi I'm thinking about Christmas Calendars again! We have little calendars and I'm drawing a blank as to what to do! In the past we've done Collage of Toys (Our theme at present), WordArt, Photos of the children - decorated but I need some new ideas! Please help!

Deb Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 We've just done our calendar this week. The children dipped the corners of folded up kitchen paper into different coloured, watered down, food colourings. Open them up and hey presto you have a pretty pattern which makes a nice background for a photo of the child doing a pre-school activity. As part of ICT, we got the children to choose and print their photo on our new photo printer. Then we'll probably laminate the whole thing! A very simple activity that most of the children enjoyed again and again. The hardest part was trying to find somewhere to dry all the works of art first!

Guest Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi Have done calendars this week used cotton buds and metallic paint on black sugar paper. Blobs of paint drawn out from centre with cotton bud to make a starry sky (hope that makes sense) then stuck randomly placed leaf rubbings, the children had done previously. May be too late to do leaf rubbings but it makes a great background. Tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
